Does anyone else feel fortunate to have experienced the used car market in the 2000s/2010s? I complained then, but in retrospect, we had some cool cars for not much money.There was no Facebook garbage, it was either found in person, or a sketchy Craigslist ad. I miss my $1500 Miata br/o/s
>>28118347You can still get incredible deals now, I got a 2002 C5 for like ~11k just a month ago. Just have to look around.
Never got to experience it sadly. We got fucked hard, knew the world before it went to shit, never got the benefits.T. millennialNow I'm looking at $10,000 minimum for rusted out first gen miatas.
California CL in the early 2000s was insane.BMW 2002, Alfa GTV, Lancia Fulvia, Datsun 500 were found every week for $4000-$10000.I know because I looked every day.
>>28118352This, if you want another Miata now's the time. I have seen non rusty higher mileage (150-200k) ones for $2000-$4000 again. I don't care what fake jew numbers the government talks about, people are BROKE and the spare 30 year old car has gotta go.
Facebook Marketplace is so fucking bad holy shit
>>28118347I bought a 2 owner '91 CRX Si for $800 back in the day. Now they're 30 owners and 5k for a broke dick HF.
>>28118383autotempest, the shit that one black guy shills all the time, is actually pretty good. my last 2 cars were found there
>>28118347I only ever bought new
>>28118362There's an NB with zero rust, 5sp, and 65k miles on it in a small used lot in the ghetto for $4k. I keep looking at it.

>>28118370We're living in a deadbeat society, people have found out they can make a living just being an asshole flipping shit on FB.
>>28118355You missed out by about 10 years. Many millennials bought Miatas, shoot that's how they had a resurgence in popularity. They were still fag car status until about 2013.
>>28118385I've browsed it a few times. My last 2 cars were fb market finds I scooped up the same day they were listed. >top - got from a literal boomer retired from the chairforce>bottom - got for 2k back during the wu-flu scamdemic
>>28118830Forgot pic.
>>28118819Didn't have the money back then to buy a toy, had to get a salvaged econobox that could get me to work.
Used to flip cars like crazy in highschool in the pnw. Good times. Miss those days. Thank God I got my dream car before shit went retarded.
